WCOA has rumored tie to getting rid of elected mayor in 1930s

I’ve spent the day going through letters, photos and folders on the history of Pensacola’s first and oldest radio station – WCOA, which celebrated its 95th anniversary this year.  I came across some very interesting documents that appear to tie Penscaola’s switch to a city manager form of government in the 1930s to the station.

I will discuss on tomorrow’s show, starting a 7 a.m. There is so much to share.
